Lawrence LaDouceur: The Bedford Ranter

God bless Russel Fong. We've been wanting to interview this dude for months but were frankly a little terrified. If you've ever visited Williamsburg, you've undoubtedly seen/heard him. His name is Lawrence LaDouceur, aka The Bedford Ranter.

I've met Larry a few times, shook his hand, and yes, even smoked with him.
And I have to say Larry, your youngest son Craig is most definitely your son, the family resemblance is far too strong for him not to be.

I used to be able to count his youngest son, Craig, among my best friends.

That is, until he sold us all (his best friends) out, so he could replace us with lowlife, scumbag pieces of shit from the shithole bar that he works at. We were a crew, and he ruined that. We found out he basically used us all those years for our money, food, cigarettes, rides to work, room & board, and other good will towards him, since he was able but unwilling to provide these things for himself.

Also just recently found out that Craig once gang-raped an underage girl with Down's Syndrome, so I'm actually glad the worthless piece of shit is out of my life.

Lawrence is a legend in Butte. Here he was left alone for the most part and tolerated. He was picked on by drunks and bullies here, and I am sure he gets the same treatment there. He's a decent guy if you sit down and listen to him. Don't try to get explanations, don't try to understand, just listen and eventually you will understand what it is he is trying to say. And don't be afraid of him, he's a gentle giant who only reacts in anger when truly provoked or threatened.
Smoke a bowl with him and he's even calmer and easier to understand. Might want to just give him some to smoke, sharing a pipe isn't a bright idea. (precautions) I used to enjoy talking to him and i often gave him many rides around town when he would let me.
And for the LaDouceurs, I've been keep tabs on your father/ brother. he's at:
Glenwood Hotel

339 Broadway, Brooklyn, NY 11211
nr. Rodney St.
718-387-7858

I cant find the room # i had for him but if you contact the hostel they will probably help you out.

Woot, crazy larry is the man!!! This guy can be a real riot when he's on his meds and high. Otherwise he's just a dangerous psycho who, if provoked enough, will hurt someone. He never should be on the street.

He should be locked up along with his retard raping youngest son!!!

Please send contact information on Lawrence LaDouceur to me, his sister @ mkladouceur@yahoo.com. His sisters and I have been trying to locate him to let him know his mother passed. An address of phone number would be helpful. He is a diagnosed schizophrenic who, when off meds, is totally irrational.

Thank you.

My father is a diagnosed paranoid schizophrenic, How anyone could want to examine his belief system is beyond me, there isn't one. He is an example of the health care problems with the nation. People who truly need help never get it. I would also be obliged if I could get the raw footage.

Can I get a hold of the raw footage??? Lawrence LaDouceur is my father.

way to go easy on a child intimidating antisemite

i honestly think this was beautiful. i have compassion for this man. I don't know why, but this video...wow. Now, I know why I always have.

dear miss rachel,

yes I am probably retarded, even though I don't see how that relates to my comment which was simply "excellent job". if you can't express criticism in a civilized manner, then I am tempted to feel a wee bit sorry for you.

Um UN:art:IG, are you retarded?? Lawrence is a fucking lunatic schizo!!! Why would you think that reasoning with him would be a good idea? You should have your head examined.

OMG IT'S SKELETOR! That dude used to yell at me atleast once a week last summer. He used to piss me off so hard while I was waiting for the bus on Bed & N7th

ya i've seen the guy who sings from his car

has the oldies station on and sings along rather loud and drives around the neighborhood

so slightly on topic, can we please get an interview of the guy who drives around in his subaru shouting sinatra at the top of his lungs all day every day?? anyone know his deal? we have had a few theories at work about it.

I saw him get in a fight one night, he got this guy so worked up that the dude attacked him. It was crazy!! After being hit in the face Lawrence just started laughing in the other guys face saying "is that all ya got?"...it was pretty disturbing and probably one of the most bizarre things I have witnessed in a long time.

excellent job

Having a sympathetic take on this guy seems a little silly and irresponsible. His rants are clearly anti-semitic and xenophobic. I've actually tried talking to this guy, but instead of having a conversation he tends to just rant his one sided nonsense then walk away when he gets flustered. Should have scrutinized his belief system more instead of letting him again rant more and document it. Interesting to see how he lives though.

Can we get a Lawrence LaDouceur foldable?

Well done

watched whole thing
good job all around
